Press Release for Bose's First Sound Bars

SINGAPORE - Atlas Sound & Vision, Singapore’s leading premium audio visual retailer and distributor, has today introduced the first sound bar systems from Bose: the Lifestyle 135 home entertainment system and the CineMate 1 SR digital home theatre speaker system. Using proprietary Bose technologies, each system provides a new level of audio performance and placement flexibility for sound bar solutions, delivering unmistakable home theatre sound from one elegant speaker array, and a new wireless Acoustimass module.

The Lifestyle 135 system includes a media console for up to six HD sources (four HDMI inputs), an AM/FM tuner, and a dock for iPod or iPhone. Featuring the proprietary Bose Unify intelligent integration system, the media console acts as a central hub and makes connecting devices to the console hassle-free.

The CineMate 1 SR system attaches directly to a TV with just one cable – it’s that easy. Both sound bar set-ups feature a programmable remote that controls the system and nearly any connected source, from a Blu-ray Disc player to a cable box.

PhaseGuide Technology: Immersive Sound From One Visible Speaker

The Lifestyle 135 system and CineMate 1 SRsystem represent the first Bose speakers to feature breakthrough PhaseGuide sound radiator technology, originally used in the company’s revolutionary VideoWave entertainment system – the industry’s first high-definition television that integrates a complete home theatre sound system behind a 46” 1080p LCD display. Combined with proprietary TrueSpace digital processing circuitry, PhaseGuide™ technology transforms the listening experience: discrete sound can be heard in places where there are no speakers, and it comes from a single array that measures just 2.4" deep, 36.8" wide and 4.9" high.

The new Acoustimass module delivers low notes with cinematic impact. Smaller than previous Bose Acoustimass modules, its wireless link allows it to be hidden, completely out of sight.

Sound bar Setup: Horizontal, Vertical, Anywhere in the Room

Unlike conventional sound bars, the Lifestyle 135 and CineMate 1 SR systems have true placement flexibility: they can be positioned near the TV, wherever it is, and in two orientations – without compromising audio performance.

Bose FlexMount automatic placement compensation senses whether the speaker has been placed horizontally on a table, or mounted vertically on a wall. It then automatically adjusts the sound, offering owners two choices for sound bar setup with the same assurance of spacious, natural sound.

Bose ADAPTiQ audio calibration technology offers another performance assurance: the system will deliver optimal sound in any room. It first recognises where the system is located, then compensates for how the acoustics of the space affect its audio quality – customising the sound for the room’s unique size, shape, even furnishings.
